Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" is the 18th studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on May 15, 1972. The album is frequently considered a transitional album for the band, with the addition of Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar on guitar and drums, respectively, and long-time member Bruce Johnston departing during its initial sessions. The initial American pressings of the album included the band's 1966 studio album Pet Sounds as a bonus record

There are some real highlights here like Dennis' orchestral ballad "Cuddle Up" or a jazzy blues number "Here She Comes" by the newcomers Ricky Fataar and Blondie Chaplin. Those tracks do rank among some of their best post "Pet Sounds" material and there are many other gorgeous spots on this album (especially on side two), but there's no denying the fact that none of the material feels like it belongs on the.
In 1971, The Beach Boys released their most experimental record to date (sorry folks, but "Pet Sounds" is not that experimental and "Smile" was not released at all till 2004) called "Surf's Up". They sang about the planet, water, ecology, mysticism, politics, society and so on. Guided by their then manager, Jack Rieley, they went even further. I never thought I'd listen to The Beach Boys song about TM and enjoy (I am talking about "All This Is That", and the other The Beach Boys songs about TM are pedestrian). All in all, "Carl and The Passions - So Tough" is not bad The Beach Boys album, it is just a bad compilation of the good songs. Faces Ooh La la. The Beach Boys The Beach Boys in Concert.

Still, it’s a spirited, well-constructed rocker that simply seems a bit out of place here. 3. He Come Down Produced by Al and Carl.
